My client's rental house burned down, total loss.  To show the disposal, do I enter zero as sales price or enter the insurance payment?

Go through the casualty loss workflow and worksheet. Find out the specifics of the insurance settlement. There are usually several components... fire damage, loss of rents or business income. 
There can be a taxable gain depending on the circumstances 

 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
